I have a Canon Canoscan FS4000US, and I use the Canon software, or the Canon TWAIN driver through Photoshop 7. At its highest resolution of 4000 ppi, I have to deal with a lot of "grain aliasing" or "grain noise" or whatever you want to call it. If I turn the resolution down to 2000 ppi, or especially 1000 ppi, I find that I can just take the scans direct from the scanner, crop off ten or twenty pixels of overscan all around, and I'm done. The FS4000US has been fabulously color "matched" using the sRGB color space from the moment I pulled it out of its box. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
